Hey everyone, don’t know why I’m sharing but I guess I just need to share with fellow pony people
I’ve had my mare, who will be 4 in June, since July 2018. She was very petite when I got her but she’s been piling on the pounds even though she’s on low sugar/starch diet as my other pony is EMS. Minimal grass in the field and my EMS pony has lost weight over winter (planned) but my mare has got fatter.
I asked the vet at her vaccines in December and she said it was just her shape as to why she had a large tummy and with work in the spring she will tone up
There’s no chance she’s been covered whilst being with me and the previous owner said no chance from April 2018 onwards and doubtful before that too
Yesterday I saw these abdominal movements and the vet said they’re from gas?
To ultrasound her they want her travelled there to go in the sticks or sedated at my yard, and I’m really not keen to put her through the stress and trauma of either unless I absolutely have to
She doesnt have any swelling around her teats
Basically Ive always had geldings and totally utterly clueless with mates and breeding but something just doesn’t sit right with me that’s shes just fat
And if she is I need to do something ASAP or She’ll be in real trouble going in to spring!!
So this is us and I just needed somewhere to share hope that’s ok
P.s not sure how to attach the videos? I’ll try and link them
